  • Using Pop Culture to Prevent Violence Among Young Couples in Latin America and the Caribbean
    17 April 2009 ‘Dying for Love’—Using Pop Culture to Prevent Violence Among Young Couples in Latin America and the Caribbean MEXICO CITY - It‘s a long way between the glamorous world of pop-stardom and the decidedly unglamorous world of violence against women. Or is it? Gabriela ―Gaby‖ Villalba (24) and Barbara ―Barbie‖ Sepulveda (20), the female half of the Chilean band Kudai, think maybe not. The band, now based in Mexico City, is hugely popular among teenagers all over Latin America. Its members are determined to show that they are not about ‗fluff‘. They want to use their music and videos to focus on issues such as alcoholism, discrimination, and most recently, violence among young couples. ―These are things that our friends and our fans care about. There is a lot of silence on these issues, and we want people to wake up to the fact that it is not OK to scream at your partner, or abuse them in any way—it‘s not normal,‖ says Barbie. But do teenagers really want to focus on such grim issues? ―I don‘t think we should underestimate our fans,‖ said Gaby. ―It is important for victims of violence to know that they are not crazy, nor are they alone.‖ Teaming up to create a powerful campaign That is why the band has teamed up with UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, to help young people identify abuse in a relationship and to recognize that it is neither acceptable nor tolerable. A new regional campaign spearheaded by Kudai and UNFPA is titled ‗Violence Kills Love.
